PJ: Liverpool s back defense personnel are in a hurry; pay attention to young players such as Parma central defender Leoni

Hupu August 5th News Times famous reporter Paul Joyce wrote a long column article in Liverpool.

Emergantly needed defender

Leftback Andrew Robertson, young player Trey Nioni and midfielder Endo started in the game, highlighting the seriousness of the team's defensive problems on the eve of the new season.

Virgil Van Dijk missed two games due to illness, Joe Gomez also missed the game with an Achilles tendon injury, which forced him to end his journey to the Far East early, and Connor Bradley was unable to play due to the impact.

So, Liverpool have been paying attention to many young European central defenders, including Giovanni Leoni of Parma, while they are still interested in Crystal Palace's Mark Gaich. If Crystal Palace agrees to sell, considering the England international’s contract is in its final year, his asking price will be key.

head coach Slott believes there are questions about whether Gomez and Bradley can compete on Sunday's Community Shield match against Crystal Palace and their Premier League debut with Bournemouth. This was particularly heavy for Bradley, as he was expected to get a season starter before new player Flynnon.

Liverpool's style does not focus on introducing players in the short term, but there is no doubt that their defensive resources are already short of limits.

Darwin is about to say goodbye to Anfield

This may be Darwin Nunes' farewell to Anfield, although the striker did not show any emotional farewell after the first game.

Simone Inzaghi's Riyadh Crescent and AC Milan both expressed interest in the Uruguayan midfielder, but Liverpool had not received official offers from the two clubs before the game began.

Nuñes's asking price was about 70 million euros (£60.6 million), but at the end of the January transfer window, Riyadh Crescent tried to contact Nuñes but was rejected because Liverpool wanted to stabilize the squad, not to give up on players for the sake of their interests.
